Chelsea defender Gary Cahill feels his season has been ‘tarnished’ by some glaring individual errors that are not necessarily representative of his overall form.

The England international was at fault for goals conceded against Swansea City and Arsenal, but is confident he can get back to his best after a rough patch.

Cahill, 30, does not feel overly concerned by his performances, saying he started the season well before making mistakes that were completely of his own making, rather than being due to not being good enough.
